414-416 Smith Street




Am I the last person to have noticed that Iron Gate Properties at 414- 416 Court Street has vacated its offices When did that happen? The same real estate agency is now renting out the space.

Iron Gate had moved to this lovely storefront about two or three years ago. They had previously been at 269 Court Street, at the corner of Carroll Street, in the space that is now occupied by Giggles and Greens, a children's boutique. The strange thing is when I called the number to find out what had happened, a recording indicated the address of Iron Gate as being 369 Court. So does their web site. What's up with that. I am confused.
Did they move back?

I hope a nice tenant can be found for 414-416. This storefront is one of the nicest in the neighborhood. For those Carroll Gardens old timers, you surely remember Francis, the lovely older lady who operated the fruit and vegetable store there with her two equally nice sons.
They had the best produce and shopping there always felt like stepping back into time.
When Francis dies just a few years ago, her sons closed the doors and never re-opened.They seemed to have kept the store going solely for their mother.
